This tells the story of a downed Rebel pilot after the battle on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back, who crosses paths with an injured member of the Galactic Empire. As to not spoil the really clever conclusion, we won't delve into the story any more than that.

Skipping on CGI in favour of a stop-motion AT-AT, and the small moments for emotional character connection to name only two of the great qualities of this. Visually, it fits right in with Empire, all filmed in the sub-zero temperatures of an Alberta, Canada airfield.
